Happy Friday Everyone!
This Friday has extra meaning to me. The time has finally come for the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup. Sunday at 4pm, the US Women’s national time will be taking on Japan to bring home the gold. I have been waiting for this moment for four yeatrs.
For this week’s Five on Friday, here are my five reasons that the US Women will be hoisting that trophy.
*All the pictures will show you how much this means to me*
When we went to Vancouver to watch the World Cup live!

We have a score to settle..
The last time that the US Women held the trophy was 16 years ago. Four years ago, we were so close that we taste the victory. In the wildness of soccer, one moment changed the course, and we ended up leaving with our Silver medals. It’s time for US to be the best.

Our fan base is incredible.
Women’s soccer is becoming wildly popular. Since the world cup is in Canada this year, it’s almost a home field advantage for the US. Those 23 women out on the field are playing for our country. We are selling out stadiums left and right. This fan base deserves the gold.
Stella has World Cup spirit.

Defense wins Championships.
And our defense is into to win it. They have gone 500+ minutes without giving up a goal. That is impressive. Our defense is solid.
Twins!
<Four>
We have Hope…
Hope Solo that is. Our keeper has been fantastic. Regardless of all her off field drama, when the time comes, she pushes it aside and performs. She has kept us in this tournament. I might be biased a little though, cause she is a Washington Native.
USA!

Because I want them to!
At the end of the day, if you want something so bad, it ends up happening. I believe that we will win. That’s good enough reason for me.

I wasn’t able to watch it, but I hear it was pretty epic!
One of the best games I’ve ever seen. And I watched the 99 World Cup final too.
